At 8:05 p.m. local time on September 28, Manchester United hosted the challenge of Solja of the Ukrainian Premier League, and the second round of the group stage at home became impossible due to Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the first round of the Europa League.

Jose Mourinho made some changes to the squad, with Argentina international Romero officially replacing De Gea as a cup goalkeeper, Rojo replacing Luke Shaw and right-back Fosu Mensa rotating Valencia, all other positions in the strongest lineup.

Van Carrey did not qualify and had to watch from the sidelines.

Manchester United’s attack has adapted to Van Carrey’s existence, without Van Carrey’s attacking play is very awkward, whether it is Rashford or Martial, the breakthrough and shooting on the wing cannot be compared with Van Carrey, which means that they are completely unable to play the tactical effect that Van Carrey brings on the wing.

If the effect does not work, it becomes overwhelming.

In the 45 minutes of the first half, United could not break through Solja’s goal even if they had 70% possession, but the opponent was more efficient in attack, with two shots hitting the goal range in three counter-attacks.

Had Romero not been in form, United would have conceded the goal first at home.

This shows the importance of Van Carrey to Manchester United.

It wasn’t until the 69th minute that substitute Wayne Rooney assisted Ibrahimovic to score.

And this goal was also the only goal of the whole game.

While Jose Mourinho would be tempted to see his team rely too heavily on Van Carrey and Ibrahimovic for scoring, there are some things that are, who makes Manchester United the only two players who can take on the big role?

Van Carrey is still young and will definitely be able to take on a bigger role in the future, the problem is that Ibrahimovic is thirty-five years old, next season will be thirty-six, the biggest problem caused by the increase in age is that the playing time must be reduced, otherwise it is likely to bring incalculable injuries.

At the end of the game, Mourinho, who won the game, can finally breathe a sigh of relief, if the Europa League group stage is not won in two rounds, even the first place in the league will be questioned by unscrupulous journalists who avoid the important.

He can turn a blind eye, the problem is that the senior management of the club who does not understand football will be affected.

Fortunately, the opponents in the group stage of the Europa League are not particularly strong, and you can still qualify from the group if you maintain 100% concentration.

After the Europa League Group Stage 2, Manchester United’s attention quickly turned to the seventh round of the league, hosting Stoke City.

※※※

Van Carrey did not play in the Europa League group stage on Thursday night and is in excellent form to prepare for the league game, with manager Jose Mourinho confident of beating Stoke City at home next.

The night before the league began, Van Carrey received an unexpected phone call.

“Hi ~ Carey, I’m Dutch national team manager Danny Blind, father of your Manchester United teammate Daly Blind.”

The other party reported his home, and Van Carrey frowned: “Hello Uncle Danny, is there something wrong?” ”

In fact, when he heard the old Blind report himself, he knew what it meant, the October international break is coming next week, as the head coach of the Dutch national team, the old Blind personally called, must be inviting him to play for the Netherlands…

The elder Blind’s voice was very clear through the loudspeaker to Van Carrey’s ears: “As is customary, I have to ask if you would like to represent the Dutch national team in the World Cup qualifiers that kick off next international break. ”

Van Carrey did think about playing for the Dutch national team and fulfilling his grandmother’s dream, but he was hesitant to have the opportunity to play for the Dutch team.

[PS: This is just foreshadowing, it will not go against the previous vote, and the protagonist will definitely represent the Netherlands in the World Cup. ] 】

FIFA stipulates that once you represent a national team in international A competitions, you can no longer represent other national teams.

On the one hand, it is grandma’s dream, on the other hand, it is the insistence in his heart, he is very entangled and does not know how to make a choice.

Promise?

Or refuse?

Old Blind thought that Van Carrey was too excited to speak, and continued with a smile: “Your ability is in everyone’s eyes, next week’s second international break will be a visit to the Stade de France to challenge France, the team really needs a commando like you…”

Van Carrey closed his eyes and sighed, and did not reply to the other party.

Old Blind saw that Van Carrey had not spoken for a long time, raised his eyebrows, faintly guessed something, and tentatively asked: “Carey, do you want to represent the Netherlands in the World Cup qualifiers?” ”

As the head coach of the Dutch national team, he also pays attention to the dynamics of world football, Van Carrey’s descendants of the Celestial Empire have news reports, but he does not think that Van Carrey can join the Celestial Empire men’s football team, first of all, the Celestial Empire does not allow dual citizenship, born in the Netherlands, with Dutch nationality is quite automatic abandonment of the Celestial Empire nationality, without Celestial Empire nationality, how to represent the Celestial Empire men’s football?

Moreover, there are many well-known players in world football who have dual citizenship, and which national team to represent in international A-level competitions will also be entangled, which he knows deeply and is very common.

Van Carrey said tangledly: “Uncle Danny, to be honest with you, I really want to represent the Netherlands in the World Cup qualifiers and fulfill my grandmother’s dream, but… I…”

Speaking of this, he felt that he couldn’t start again, and turned his words around: “Uncle Danny, can you give me some time to think about it?” ”

Old Blind paused for a few seconds, smiled and said slowly: “I can give you time to think about it, but I hope you can hear good news from me before next month’s international break, okay?” ”

“Okay, goodbye Uncle Danny.”

Listening to the ‘beep’ hanging up, Van Carrey fell into deep thought.

……

The day was fleeting, Manchester United at Old Trafford to face the challenge of Stoke City, Van Carrey was emotionally affected, he did not perform very well in the game, a bit of a bit of mistakes, and even almost was broken by Shaqiri to launch a fatal counterattack.

Mourinho frowned, very surprised, he remembered that the quality of training in the first two days was very good, how did the league get to today?

Manchester United fans in the audience and in front of the TV were puzzled, and New England Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said solemnly: “What happened to Van Carrey today?” The decline in status is also too serious, right? He didn’t play in the Europa League in midweek, shouldn’t he! ”

Affected by Van Carrey’s declining form, Manchester United’s attack was a mess and did not have the dominant performance in the league in previous rounds.

By the sixth minute of the second half, Van Carrey was still not in form and Mourinho decided to replace him with Marcus Rashford.

Mourinho wanted to know what happened to his apprentice and caused him to be in poor condition, so he pulled Van Carrey aside and asked in a low voice: “Carrey, what’s wrong with you?” Is there something on the mind? ”

“It’s really nothing, it’s just a tough question waiting for me to decide.”

“What decision?”

“I’m sorry, Uncle Jose, it’s not convenient for me to talk.”

Mourinho patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of concern: “Do you want me to give you two days off?” ”

“That’s not necessary…”

Van Carrey returned to the bench and sat down, and Faria asked Mourinho: “Jose, what’s going on?” ”

“I don’t know.”

Mourinho looked back at the bench and said playfully: “Carrey is so handsome, it is estimated that two stunning beauties are waiting for him to make difficult decisions.” ”

Faria gave an expression that turned out to be like this: “I really envy his appearance.” ”
